"Our guide met us right at the port exit with our name sign and had us inside Ephesus before the crowds arrived. The Terrace Houses were the highlight of our entire cruise. Flawless from start to finish."
"We were nervous about booking independently instead of through the ship. Best decision ever — better price, twice the experience, and back on board with two hours to spare."
"The wine tasting after walking through 2,000 years of history? Perfection. Our guide's knowledge was astonishing — like walking with a history professor and a friend."
